Alejandro Martínez de Ubago Rodríguez (January 29, 1981), best known as Álex Ubago, is a Spanish singer-songwriter. He is considered a staple of the Hispanic pop scene of the 2000s, standing out not only due to his long-lived career compared to other artists and bands of the period, but also for his well carved niche in Spanish pop culture.Teaching himself to sing during his teenage years, Ubago debuted in the professional field with a song he wrote for his then girlfriend. His works eventually reached the manager of legendary pop band La oreja de Van Gogh, who gave him a chance, and Ubago soon was the big next newcomer with his album "¿Qué pides tú?" in 2001. His success was instant, both in Spain and only in Latin America, cramming an Ondas Award and an endless-looking list of platinum discs that only increased with his next works. His next work, Fantasía o realidad, would cement his place in Spain and Latin America, reaching and surpassing the gold disc and getting nominated as Best Pop Artist and Best Male Artist in the Latin MTV Awards.The New '10s was the era in which Ubago finally started losing momentum, although he diversified into a side project, a band named Álex, Jorge y Lena formed along with Jorge Villamizar and Lena Burke and produced in México, which became a similar sensation in Latin America. He notably slowed down shortly before Mentiras sinceras, his last album to date.Ubago's style is intense and heartfelt, based on his very personal voice and his affinity to sing about nostalgia, melancholy and lost love, which has earned him the amusing distinction of being considered not only the most romantic, but also the saddest singer in Spanish history. He is popularly considered to be a depressive kind of artist, which gave birth to a line of ruthless memes joking that his music spreads clinical depression and induces suicide if listened to too much. Ubago has consistently denied this, describing himself as a funny guy who simples gets more inspired by sad love stories.Discography
